Women in Construction

Surveys of women and management in construction revealed considerable overlap in their perspectives of what they valued in the workplace. Factors including fair treatment, good training, safe work sites, and full employment were high priorities to both men and women. Improving these factors will make construction more attractive as a career to both women and men. (SD-73, p. 4)

The “Game Plan to Attract and Maintain Women in Construction” was a key output from SD-73 which the team had intended to expand and publish additionally as a separate document. No evidence suggests the publication was completed but the findings captured in the Game Plan are instructive. (SD-73, p. 5)
